this week middle east expert, fawaz gerges and his latest book, "obama and the middle east" in which the international relations professor examines the obamas administrations response to the arab spring and its engagement with various middle east nations. >> guest: it's so good to be here with you fawaz. i'm delighted to see your new book. >> guest: thank you for having me. >> host: we are here now in what appears to be thick coming onto the end of the fourth year of either the first-term or the term of the obama administration there is a great deal of disappointment in many corridors but can we even begin talking directly about the obama policy in the middle east or do we have to go back in history a bit? >> guest: we do. i mean i don't think we can discuss the obama presidency without discussing what i call the legacy, the united states in the great middle east. and that particular legacy has its roots in the cold war years between the united states and the soviet union where the united states sacrificed human rights and sacrificed her aggressive forces on the altar of what they ca

this very topic in the last couple of weeks. they have made this conference even more timely than it already was. firstly, i am confused why president clinton's comments about our topic just a few days ago were so wrong or why they were proved so controversial. the way i heard what he said he wasn't questioning if we should raise income taxes on the rich, but when we should raise income taxes on the rich. seems sensible to me. actually, there's a lot about the current debate on taxing the rich that confuses me. for example, who is rich? is a family that makes more than $250,000 rich, or only those that make at least a million dollars a year, as ms. pelosi has suggested rich. seems to be a point of some confusion among the democrats. and if you're rich, does that mean you should never again face an increase in your taxes? ever? that seems to be a point of confusion among the republicans. and can we tax the rich enough to address our problem of surging deficits and debt? you might think so if you follow the budget debate. and how

if you elect obama. i happen to believe that's true and that's why i'm not reluctant president obama, but it sounded very forward-looking slogan about what that romie will do. again, it's hard to blame a guy who wants to get reelected with a pretty narrow casting approach to democratic and independent constituencies to try and scare them about the want them women and all that. the question is am a little less pessimistic that that means they can't govern effectively because i do think reality matters as we've been saying. we will have a cliff and all kinds of ways. the real cliff and 2013 is we can't sustain this deficit for too long. we can't keep printing money and expecting the world to take it. the economy is slow and may be going into another depth. there are foreign policy challenges. i think the next president will have a moment between november 7. i agree, he has to begin in the summer fall of 2013 to do a lot. i would bet contrary to conventional wisdom that would be huge legislative agenda. i t
